Who hath measured the ground? "Alabama among the most heavily-armed states; research says that makes us safer."

20 NFA weapons per thousand? How little they know.
Alabama is among the most heavily-armed states in America, according to a CBS News analysis of ATF gun registrations in accordance with the National Firearms Act (NFA). Weapons regulated under the NFA include short-barreled shotguns or rifles, machine guns and so called “assault rifles.”
WHOA! Wait just a second there, pard. I thought semi-auto rifles were "assault rifles," and they're not covered on the NFRTR that is the official list of NFA weapons. They can't have it both ways.

CBS completely dropped the ball by conflating the NFA list into a generalization.

I also thought that NFA registration info, being essentially tax information, was protected from public disclosure?

Assault rifle refers to automatic light weapons. Assault weapon is the made up term.
